In photoelectric effect, the photocurrent
- A decreases with increase in frequency of incident photon.
- B increases with increase in frequency of incident photon.
- C does not depend on the frequency of photon but depends only on the intensity of incident light.
- D depends both on intensity and frequency of incident radiation.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) does not depend on the frequency of photon but depends only on the intensity of incident light.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Photocurrent is independent of the frequency of photon. However when intensity of incident photon increases number of electrons emitted from the surface also increases, thereby increasing photocurrent.
